Synopsis

Fighting his relentless love for Trevor, the guy he was raised to consider his brother, has been Tristan’s mission in life.
To distance himself from Trevor, even after discovering they weren’t really related, he left for college at sixteen. Moving into the city, building a new life, and running an anonymous blog about what he considers sick, twisted feelings might make Tristan famous on the Internet, but it isn’t enough to get over his obsession. Every time he goes home, a quick glance at Trevor brings it all flooding back.
When commitment-phobe Trevor announces he’s got a serious boyfriend during one of Tristan’s rare visits home, the adoring kid brother will be forced to run once again. This time, however, Trevor doesn’t stand back and watch him leave.
Instead, he follows him, making it nigh on impossible for Tristan to keep his love a secret for much longer.

Excerpt

Growing up, I never really had a role model. Well, I had
plenty, but none of them of my own. My dad and my big brother were my
superheroes, and then when I discovered just how I loved my brother, I was even
less inclined to pick my own model to follow. I didn’t know of anyone who’d
made their dreams come true in my situation, so what would have been the point?
No, instead I went after my brother’s role models or, later on, his random
crushes.

First there was Marat Safin. My brother was obsessed with
him. He’d never watched a tennis match in his life, but after running across
his photo, he became an aficionado. What did I do? Well, I picked up tennis and
was fairly good at it. I made it to a few competitions and might have continued
to do well. But then my brother saw this Japanese movie made after a manga,
where two men fall in love. They’d met in high school and one of them was on
the track team. Yup, you guessed it, as his obsession with runners got hold of
him, so did mine. Track replaced tennis and I did soon make the school’s track
team. That ended up helping a lot with my college admission.

Then there was David Beckham. I think that one’s one of my
brother’s favorites to this day. Then some rock star or another, then the
actors. I lost track of all of them. I do remember Keanu, Brad, Stuart
Townsend, the lead singer of Thirty Seconds to Mars, Adam Lambert, and a few
others. I had vast collections of photos of all of them. I knew everything they
did, watched their movies or went to their concerts. Anything to figure out
what it was in them that made my brother like them so I could try to emulate
it.

I never managed to be anything but myself. And even if I
had, I was his little brother despite everything, so he never once looked my
way with a shred of interest. Yet I kept trying to copy whoever caught his eye,
even after having left home. Play toys, fuck buddies, celebrity crushes, I got
myself acquainted with all of them. In a twisted way, I never gave up hope of
my brother suddenly realizing he wanted me. Bad? Maybe. But it kept me alive,
pushed me forward.

Synopsis A bounty hunter’s
partners to lovers’ story. The hunt is on… and he’s the prey.

Bradford (Ford) King was sure he had the rest of
his life mapped out. Though he was no longer a SEAL Lieutenant, his brother was
home safe and he had a job that still allowed him to satisfy his hunger for
hunting bad guys. Life was simple, no distractions or complications – at age
forty-six – that’s all Ford wanted. What hedidn’twant was his work partner,
sniper/watchman, Dana, giving him s**t all the time.

Dana Cadby had grown up labeled a roughneck from
the wrong side of the tracks. He’d fought, scrounged, and survived despite a
father that constantly told him he couldn’t. Dana pulled himself up by his own
boot straps and made a name for himself in the marksman community. He’d been
Duke’s bounty watchman for five years. It was his job to ensure th…
